“…There are potential opportunities, but media coverage of climate change issues is sometimes misled by political and ideological viewpoints, with conservative outlets attempting to downplay climate change existence and mitigation (Jamieson & Hardy, 2014). Historically, Canada's news media is overshadowed by the United States media industry (Goodrum, 2021). In its global position as a socio-political powerhouse, there are still huge debates and equally popular opinions in the United States as to whether climate change exists, euphemizing the need to mitigate it (Harris, 2000).…”

This paper examines the interplay between media and the “social side of soils” whereby climate change action implicates individual and collective capacity to adapt, participate in groups or organizations, networks, and respond to challenges and opportunities across a system. The context examined here is Canadian agriculture, and soil health initiatives in the province of Ontario. Our review of relevant literature points to a knowledge gap on the role of the media in enabling climate action in the Canadian agricultural sector with a focus on soil management practices. This study conducted a media content analysis of 100 English-language news articles published between 2022 and 2024 and conducted 31 surveys with media professionals. Approximately one-quarter of the screened news articles contained any relevant coverage of soil health-related climate change mitigation issues. Journalist surveys identified the resource constraints on soil health media coverage with a wide range of traditional and Internet-based journalism on climate change issues, motivated particularly by crisis communication and one-off “parachute reporting”. Going forward, the engagement of key stakeholders of soil health in Canada such as farmers for media and communication about climate change mitigation needs attention. Key policy structures at the federal and provincial levels can help to make this happen.
